Every time I look at the inverter that has ensured regular supply of electricity in our home for about a year now, my heart BLESSES Yemi, for letting us have it (and 4 solar panels) at a price she allowed us to determine, just before relocating abroad; and the Ojesanmis, who installed the complete package for us. I ask you this question, “What have you done, given, or made happen, for someone, or a family, that keeps them THANKING GOD for you, and BLESSING you?”
If you live for yourself, you’ll be miserable, and die miserably. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are His workmanship (masterpiece), created in CHRIST JESUS for GOOD WORKS, which GOD prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” GOOD WORKS make for GOOD LIFE. Think am small.
It was my birthday last Friday – June 12, and I got a lot of GOODWILL messages from family and friends on WhatsApp and Facebook. Of all the wishes and prayers sent to me on that special day (and, I appreciate them all), these 3 (alongside my father’s phone call of super BLESSINGS) stand out.
And, coming from people who have known me for longer than my precious wife of almost 24 years, I believe you can consider their words to be truthful, sincere and heartfelt. Their messages resonate with what I’ve always told my children, concerning what they’ll hear from many people when I’m gone, hopefully, in another 42 years.
I’m sharing them with you so you’ll know, from how you’re living now, what to expect when you’re no more. You can know your ‘end,’ to a considerable extent, by looking at your lifestyle today. Dear friend, you can still change to CHRIST-LIKENESS and GRACIOUS VIRTUES. Selah!

“On this special day, I thank God for the gift that you are — a man of faith, loyalty, kindness, and uncommon thoughtfulness. In a world where many are too busy to care, you consistently make time to uplift, support, and inspire. May the Lord richly reward your labour of love. May He grant you good health, divine strength, greater wisdom, peace on every side, and fresh grace for all He has called you to do. May your latter days be greater than the former, and may you continue to shine as a light to many. Have a wonderful birthday celebration and a truly blessed new year. Congratulations”” – J
